ZIC1

该基因编码c2h2型锌指蛋白zic家族的一个成员。这个家庭的成员在成长过程中很重要这种基因的异常表达见于儿童脑瘤髓母细胞瘤该基因与3号染色体上的相关家族成员小脑4的锌指蛋白基因紧密相连这个基因编码一个转录因子，可以结合和反式激活载脂蛋白E基因[由RefSeq提供，2008年7月]
This gene encodes a member of the ZIC family of C2H2-type zinc finger proteins. Members of this family are important during development. Aberrant expression of this gene is seen in medulloblastoma, a childhood brain tumor. This gene is closely linked to the gene encoding zinc finger protein of the cerebellum 4, a related family member on chromosome 3. This gene encodes a transcription factor that can bind and transactivate the apolipoprotein E gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
